nwhyte's review against another edition
4.0

The script, published in 1989, is really for completists only, but I would say two things: first, two of the most problematic elements of the TV series - the use of a white actor to play Li H'sen Chang, and the rather poor implementation of the giant rat - are of course invisible in the script (the racism, alas, survives); but second, so is the gorgeous staging which made it such a vivid experience when I was nine.
